Through wives pharmacy education she had a lecture by an expert on HIV/AIDS who has worked with the disease since to showed up in the early 80s.

And she leaned some interesting stuff. Like wile HIV showed up in sab Francisco in 81. Back in 67 there was a curious case about a norwegian sailor. He had the strangest case of Rheumatic disease this doctor had seen. In and out from the hospital.
He died in 76 so did his wife and his last born daughter from the same disease.

The doctor thought it so strange he kept samples of their tissue and blood.

It's been tested and yes all 3 had HIV a strain mostly located to Cameron. He had been treated there for syphilis.

Another tidbit was that she now has patients that are getting on. These were infected during the high of the epidemic in the early 80s.
There is no clear reason why they survived for so long without treatment. The only explanation the lecturer had was that these men where overall very healthy, healthy eating habits. Worked out. So they simply were in a conditions to hang around until effective medication came on the market. And with the new drugs they'll most likely never die from HIV.
